WordPress 3.0 Released
WordPress, the popular blogging platform, has released the 3.0 version to the public today. Here's a list of the new updates and additions to WordPress 3.0.
In my opinion the most important change with WordPress 3.0 (the "Thelonious" release) is the merge of the individual and multiple-user (MU) versions. The new functionality, called multi-site, will allow blog administrators to manage one or any number of blogs from one install. This will be awesome for me as I currently administer four WordPress blogs and keeping all of them updated and in sync takes a good amount of time and effort. Now I will be able to run all four blogs from one WordPress installation. My only concern with this new multi-site functionality is if a hacker is able to get into the site, they could potentially attack all of the blogs more easily than the current individual blog setup.
A new default blog template named Twenty Ten comes standard with WordPress 3.0. The new template replaces the old default template and features a refined look along with more customization options than before.
